Materia melding stat caps on iLevel 70 armor.

[enasccis]

I would go for the darklight cowl of casting simply because it looks way cooler imo, but in actually, a HQ ilvl 70 gears can be more powerful simply because we can stack up to 5 materias on it. Even though Vit and Int are capped on HQ Vanyas, you can add other stats such as critical, spell speed, accuracy, determination, elementals, etc to it while darklight can't.

If you're all about stats, maybe you should consider picking up the Sorcerer's Coat and Sorcerer's Pestasos instead of the darklight cowl since its stats are downright OP...

Oh wait, those requires a different kind of token nvm.
